A piece on a U.S. District Court judge’s ruling in favor of the Biden administration’s plan to negotiate on the price Medicare pays for drugs concluded by telling readers:
“Many other countries already negotiate drug prices.”
In fact, the United States government already negotiates drug prices for programs like the Veterans’ Administration and Federal Employee’s health care program. The issue is whether to extend negotiations to Medicare, not whether to introduce something altogether novel to the United States.
